Illinois Supreme Court approves Extended Media Coverage in Circuit Court of Cook County
Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Rita B. Garman and Circuit Court of Cook County Chief Judge Timothy C. Evans today announced that the use of media cameras and audio recording devices in courtrooms has been approved in Cook County by the Supreme Court on an experimental, limited basis. The experimental pilot program will begin Monday, January 5, 2014, in the felony courtrooms at the George N. Leighton Criminal Court Building, 2600 South California Avenue in Chicago.
"The opening of Cook County criminal courtrooms to media cameras is a significant and very welcome step in our efforts to bring greater transparency to the judicial process, while protecting the rights of the accused, witnesses, and jurors," Chief Justice Garman said. "This is a challenging undertaking, given the logistics of the Cook County court system and the large number of interested media outlets in the Chicago area. I am confident that Chief Judge Evans and his staff and the many individual judges who preside over cases in Cook County Circuit Court will rise to the challenge, just as I am sure that the members of the media will find that the procedures that have been adopted protect both the public's right to know and the rights of victims, jurors, and others to be shielded from unwanted publicity."
Chief Judge Evans expressed his deep gratitude to the Illinois Supreme Court, especially Chief Justice Garman and former Chief Justice Thomas L. Kilbride. "I am extremely pleased that the public will now hear and see through extended media coverage exactly what is taking place in Cook County courtrooms – this is a tremendous step forward to enhanced transparency and accountability at every level of the court system," said Chief Judge Evans. "The public's understanding of how their justice system truly operates will be enhanced as they observe firsthand that litigants are treated with respect and that justice can be done fairly and impartially."
Evans noted that the use of media cameras in courtrooms has succeeded in other states and in other Illinois counties, and he is confident it will succeed in Cook County also.
The initial phase of the Cook County pilot program will be limited to the Leighton Court Building and to felony cases only. All bond calls conducted at Leighton, including Central Bond Court, Branch 66 and Branch 98, are excluded from the pilot.
Chief Judge Evans noted the pilot program will operate under the Supreme Court's "Policy for Extended Media Coverage in the Circuit Courts of Illinois" and Circuit Court of Cook County General Administrative Order 2014-12 and that adherence to both policies is necessary if the pilot program is to succeed and ultimately expand to other kinds of cases and other courthouses in Cook County. To assist the media and the judiciary in implementing the pilot, Chief Judge Evans has designated three members of his staff to serve as court media liaisons: Stephen Brandt, Acting Director of Legal Research, Michael Carroll, Director of Information Services, and Rose Mary Marasso, Assistant to the Chief Judge.
Under the Supreme Court's EMC Policy and Cook County Circuit Court General Administrative Order No. 2014-12 entered by Chief Judge Evans, a request for cameras at a hearing or trial must be initiated by the news media through a media coordinator selected by the media. The media coordinator must file an EMC request on behalf of the news media with the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The circuit clerk will docket the request and forward a copy to a member of the court's media liaison team who in turn will notify the following individuals in the case: the attorneys, the pro se litigants (persons choosing self-representation instead of attorney representation), and the judge assigned to the case. Chief Judge Evans and Criminal Division Presiding Judge Paul P. Biebel, Jr. will also be notified. Next, the court will schedule a hearing on the request, and Presiding Judge Biebel's office will notify the attorneys, pro se litigants, the media coordinator, and the court media liaison team of the date and time. The judge assigned to the case will rule on the request.
A decision by a judge to allow or disallow coverage is not appealable.
The media coordinator will work with the court media liaison on Chief Judge Evans's staff and the judge assigned to the case to ensure adherence to all required procedures.
Bob Graves, Illinois photo editor for the Associated Press, has been selected by the media to serve as the media coordinator.
"The news media has demonstrated the utmost professionalism and dedication in working with me and members of my staff as well as the staff of the Illinois Supreme Court in preparing for Extended Media Coverage," said Chief Judge Evans. "I especially want to thank Joseph R. Tybor, Director of Communications for the Illinois Supreme Court, Meg Theno, Senior Photo Editor, Chicago Tribune, Tony Capriolo, Daypart Manager for WMAQ-TV, CC Boggiano, News Operations Manager for WLS-TV, Kii Sato, U.S. Regional Photo Editor for the Associated Press, and Julie Mann, Managing Editor for WBBM-AM780.
He also praised staff from the offices of Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown, Public Defender Abishi C. Cunningham, Jr. and Sheriff Thomas Dart for their cooperation and assistance.
Notwithstanding a request by the news media, the Supreme Court policy gives absolute discretion to the assigned judge on whether to allow extended media coverage of a proceeding. Consistent with Article VI, Section 7(c) of the Illinois Constitution, which grants supervisory authority to the chief judge over his Circuit, the policy also gives discretion to the chief judge to disallow coverage.
The Supreme Court policy provides that the request be made at least 14 days in advance of the time the proceeding is scheduled, although the time frame may be expanded or reduced by the judge. It encourages media pooling and requires media pooling where there are more media requesting extended coverage than the number of cameras the judge allows.
The Supreme Court policy requires attorneys to inform the parties and the witnesses that a request for EMC has been made. It allows parties and witnesses to object to the request and provides that the assigned judge will rule on any objections.
In prosecutions for sexual abuse, or when sexual abuse is an essential element, there will be no extended media coverage of the testimony of the alleged victim without the alleged victim's consent. An objection to extended media coverage by a testifying victim in any other prosecution of a forcible felony, by police informants, by undercover agents, and by relocated witnesses shall be presumed valid, but ruled upon by the assigned judge.
The Supreme Court policy also prohibits media coverage in any juvenile, divorce, adoption, child custody, evidence suppression, and trade secret cases, as well as in any court proceeding required under Illinois law to be held in private.
Extended media coverage of jury selection, the jury, and individual jurors before the conclusion of the trial also is prohibited under the policy.
Chief Judge Evans is inviting members of the news media to attend a meeting on Monday, December 22, 2014, at 2 p.m., in courtroom 2005 of the Richard J. Daley Center. There will be a presentation that outlines in detail how EMC will operate, with questions from the media to follow. Members of news organizations are encouraged to attend and should respond to firstname.lastname@example.com. Cameras will be permitted at the meeting.

If you're thinking about transitioning to those trendy barefoot running shoes, you may want to take a look at this new study first. According to research by the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, runners using minimalist shoes experienced more bone bruising than runners using traditional shoes. They recommend that if you are thinking of trying new kicks like the Vibram FiveFingers, transition slowly to decrease the risk of injury. The researchers also found that nearly 100% of the time, runners who choose to wear the FiveFinger foot-gloves with jeans or casual clothing risk the mockery of close friends or even family. Following the minimalist running research, the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise is now currently undertaking a study on the overuse of ampersands, which may be equally worthy of ridicule …

The title of this article is misleading. The study is basically saying that if you switch to minimalist shoes too quickly you could be injured which can happen with any new activity that is performed with too much zeal.
The article leaves out the fact that this is a short term study and; therefore, has a very small impact on the long term effects of running with Vibrams. I will point out that running in general can cause injury and it was in fact believed that long term runners would age with more bone fractures and weakened knees. Long term controlled studies and observations have proven just the opposite. Dedicated runners that run responsibly (i.e. resting properly or if injured) have strengthened muscles and are healthier, with less injury than their non-running peers.

California Is Playing With Mortgage Fire
If the mortgage holder opts for the traditional judicial foreclosure, "it is a very difficult process for a consumer to redeem their property," according to Mayer, who adds that "what will potentially happen is that these cases will go through court, and then the borrower may also be sued personally for attorney fees and costs," on top of a potential deficiency judgment.
Mayer also says the new rules are "unique and different" from the previous regulatory orders against the six banks," because they "give the consumer a right to an injunction to stop the foreclosure process, which can lead to attorney fees and fines against the banks."
So not only do the new laws potentially lead to mortgage holders opting for the more expensive -- and potentially more painful for the borrower -- judicial foreclosure, the increased costs for all parties could raise borrowing costs or stifle credit availability for the consumers the legislators are seeking to help.
Dustin Hobbs, a spokesman for the California Mortgage Bankers Association says that if the California legislation "results in a slew of new frivolous lawsuits and lengthens the foreclosure process, investors will put more of a premium on California loans, which of course will push some borrowers out of the market."
A Blunt Instrument
Another California development that could make it easier for thousands of "underwater" borrowers to stay in their homes, while setting a very painful precedent for lenders and investors in mortgage-backed securities is the possible use of eminent domain to force loan modifications. San Bernardino County, along with the cities of Fontana and Ontario, have set up the Joint Powers Authority, which is considering what County spokesman David Wirt calls the "intriguing idea" of using eminent domain to take control over mortgage loans with principal balances greatly exceeding property values. Under the proposed program, which would be funded by Mortgage Resolution Partners, a new refinanced loan balance amount that could be supported by the current fair value of the property would be determined, and the investor holding the mortgage would be paid off for that amount.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by official Chinese news agency Xinhua (New China News
["International Observation" Column by Staff Reporters Jiang Guopeng and
Ran Wei: "Cameron Visits the United States To Amend the 'Special
Washington, 20 Jul (Xinhua) - US President Barack Obama met with the
visiting new British Prime Minister David Cameron at the White House
today. The main topics of discussion of this meeting of US and British
leaders were the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, the release of the culprit of
the "Lockerbie air disaster," and the Afghan situation. Analysts noted
that relative to these "topics on table," there were ongoing efforts
"under the table" between the two leaders to amend the "special
relationship" between the two countries.
"Special Relationship" Beset With Troubles
This was the first time Cameron visited the United States as British
prime minister. Public opinion held that the visit would contribute to
the restoration of the traditional friendly relations between the
American and British leaders - this relationship was strained when
Cameron's predecessor Gordon Brown as in office, but would not play an
obvious role in achieving a rebalance of the "special relationship"
between Britain and the United States.
British Petroleum shoulders heavy responsibility in the Gulf of Mexico
oil spill and is accused of playing the role of the "pusher" in securing
the release of the culprit of the "Lockerbie air disaster." The United
States is extremely dissatisfied about this. Thus, the underlying tone
of Cameron's visit has been defined as a "fire-fighting trip" for
explaining the British position to the US government and its legislature
with a view to protectubg the reputation and interests of Britain and
British Petroleum in the United States.
Five days before Cameron's visit, British Petroleum announced that it
had successfully sealed the leaking oil well in the Gulf of Mexico.
However, public opinion held that after the oil spill was put under
control, the Obama administration would start settling accounts with
this company for losses inflicted on the United States. According to
market analysts, British Petroleum may be asked to pay US$40 billion in
The troubles caused by British Petroleum did not stop here. After
negotiations with the Libyan government, Scotland Yard set free Abdel
Basset al-Megrahi, the culprit of the "Lockerbie air disaster," in
August last year. The United States reckons that Britain wants to set
free al-Megrahi in exchange for a huge petroleum contract from Libya,
and British Petroleum is playing the role of a "lobbyist" in this.
The Cameron government has made it clear that setting free al-Megrahi
was a mistake. However, the US side does not seem willing to "reduce big
problems into small ones and small problems into nothing." The US Senate
will hold a hearing on the release of al-Megrahi next week. Public
opinion maintains that British Petroleum's involvement in these two
court cases will not only directly affect the company's interests in the
United States but will also hurt the "special relationship" between the
two countries.
"Special Relationship" Faces Fine-Tuning
The British statesman Winston Churchill was the first to define the
close political, cultural and historical ties between Britain and the
United States as a "special relationship" after World War Two. Since
then, this concept has been adopted by political circles in both
countries and by international relations theorists to describe the
alliance between the two countries. However, the development of the
current international situation objectively requires that policymakers
in both countries fine-tune this relationship.
The European Union began playing an increasingly important role in
international affairs as an independent force as a result of the process
of political integration during the two decades since the end of the
Cold War. The overall national strength of big developing nations like
China, India and Brazil has been expanding continuously. Russia is also
embarking on the road of recovery as a maj or power thanks to the push
of the "energy dollar." The trend of the multiplarization of the
international setup is becoming increasingly obvious.
Where the United States is concerned, the position of the "special
relationship" with Britain in its global strategy is obviously on the
decline. Obama "ushering out" the Churchill bust from the Oval Office
not long after gaining access to the White House best illustrates this
point. For Britain, the implementation of the policy of "befriending the
United States and distancing itself from Europe" all these years has
greatly weakened its own influence in international and regional
During his four-nation trip to Asia in November last year, Obama openly
stated that he is the first "Pacific President" in the history of the
United States. The implied meaning of this is that United States has
shifted the priority of its global strategy from the Atlantic to the
Pacific. Cameron who led the Conservative Party's return as a ruling
party said he would "rebalance" the relations between Britain and the
United States, and that Britain should not be afraid to say "no" to the
United States any more.
However, the "special relationship" between the United States and
Britain, as the cornerstone of "pan-Atlantic relations" and an important
component of the global strategy of the United States, has not undergone
any change in substance. In fact, advancing hand-in-hand for more than
half a century has helped US-UK relations mature to a stage where they
can "digest" their differences.
Analysts said that Britain, regardless of whether the Conservative Party
is the ruling party or the Labour Party is in office, will always be the
most trusted strategic ally of the United States in the foreseeable
"Special Relationship" Will Still be Maintained
As far as the adjustment of this "special relationship" is concerned,
the Washington policymakers will not overlook the following facts:
Britain is a permanent member of the UN Security Council with power of
veto. Britain has virtually never uttered the "second voice" on all
strategic issues concerning US security. The huge sacrifices made by
Britain in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were second only to those of
the United States.
Britain will continue to be an important chess piece on the "big
chessboard" of the United States in countering "European integration."
The Americans feel uneasy about the European integration process under
the guidance of the Treaty of Lisbon. Although having a stable Europe
serves the global strategic interest of the United States, a future
"United States of Europe" may pose a challenge to the global lead of the
United States.
Cameron is hoping to "rebalance" UK-US relations during his term of
office and strengthen Britain's independence in foreign policy and
influence in international affairs. However since it is not easy for
Britain to make the transition from "subordination" to "equal footing"
in its position in this "special relationship," the Conservative-led
coalition government will have difficulty shaking off the influence of
the United States in the days to come. This is the reality that the
Cameron administration must face although it is looking forward to a
closer relationship with Europe.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague who vowed not to show "blind
loyalty" to the United States said: Britain will play an active part in
European affairs and exert to elevate the position of the European Union
in the world, but the "special relationship" between Britain and the
United States will continue to exist and find embodiment through
cooperation in wide-ranging spheres. Britain and the United States will
always be partners of cooperation they value most, but this choice will
not constitute competition with Europe.

Despite recent drops, 21% of people in England still smoke. The UK Department of Health aims to reduce this to 18.5% by the end of 2015. For smokers, January is typically the time of year to quit smoking as a New Year's Resolution. This is the story of Stoptober, a public health programme unlike anything before. Stoptober combined grassroots involvement with advertising, fuelled by real time planning and response, to create a new peak in smoking quit attempts. Stoptober was an unprecedented success, with October 2012 seeing more quit attempts than January for the first time ever.
Department of Health (Public Health England), UK
Historically, the Department of Health has had great success in driving January quit attempts, but wanted to add an additional peak to the year. New insights told us that if people quit for 28 days they are 5 times more likely to stay smoke-free. Working with a cross-agency team we created Stoptober, a 28-day mass participation event. For Stoptober to be successful, it needed to be a big public idea which rallied the interest of everyone – not just smokers, we needed to create a society-sized movement.
MEC's contribution was to shape the campaign: we knew that in order to be successful, Stoptober needed to be more than a TV ad with some CRM support. We had to create a living social movement which would invade the public's consciousness. Smokers needed to feel that everyone was quitting and everyone knew about it regardless of whether they smoked or not.
We did this by creating a truly social and real-time initiative. We invested heavily in paid broadcast media to give the event scale and utilised social channels to create a sense that Stoptober was a living social movement. We listened to conversations in real time, creating twice daily social reports for the Department of Health and the agency team which identified themes and turned them into engaging content. For example, when we noticed people making Stoptober badges, we created a twibbon widget, to help people show their support more easily.
The success was in thoughtful, adaptive execution. For example, from day 1 to day 28 we ran different stories highlighting the benefits of being involved, such as 'Day 11. No, your cooking hasn't improved, it's just your taste buds returning'. This was implemented across TV/press/radio and digital. In press alone we ran 21 different executions!
The campaign was an unprecedented success. Journalists wrote about it, Hollywood stars tweeted it, but more importantly people quit. University of Central London data shows that 9.1% of smokers tried to quit in October 2012 – compared to an average of 6.3%, the equivalent of 240,000 additional quit attempts. In fact, more people quit in October last year than in January! Other data suggests the campaign was instrumental in this increase. Over 500,000 support products were ordered (including our entire supply of 150,000 Stoptober Kits), 1.3m visited the Smokefree website (vs 201,000 in 2011) and 60,000 new fans joined the Facebook page (and received peer support and continue to receive help).

Industrial computing is a constantly growing market and one that doesn't seem to slow down for anything, and this means that there is always a growing need for new innovations within the sector. The mantra of "small, cool running and powerful" seems to be driving some of the options behind creating new standards for embedded systems. There are tough decisions to be made on the technical specifications, but in 2004 a great breakthrough was made.
Enter the EPIC motherboard standard. A grandiose-sounding name, perhaps, for what is essentially a mid-sized embedded board. It does not have the largest board space, nor does it pump out the most processing power. It cannot match up to the larger ITX boards for I/O capabilities, but then again, it Read the full article →

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LifeVantage Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: LFVN), the maker of Protandim® and TrueScience(TM) Anti-Aging Cream, science-based solutions to oxidative stress, announced preliminary unaudited net revenue for the first fiscal quarter of 2010. The Company anticipates net revenue of approximately $1.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009, compared to net revenue of $1.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2009. This continued growth in revenue demonstrates the success of the Company's on-going expansion into the network marketing distribution model.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090930/LIFEVANTAGELOGO)
Total operating expenses in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 decreased by approximately 25% from total operating expenses of $6.1 million in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2009. This decline is primarily attributable to reductions of approximately 80% in total legal expenses. In the first fiscal quarter of 2010, legal expenses decreased by approximately $1 million and other operating expenses decreased by approximately $0.5 million. These decreases are directly attributable to the Company's efforts in expense reductions and greatly reduced activity in litigation in which the Company has been a party.
"We are pleased to announce that the Company anticipates its second consecutive quarter of double digit percentage increases in net revenue," stated Carrie E. Carlander, Chief Financial Officer of LifeVantage, "especially since both quarters of revenue increases occurred during a traditionally slower time of year for MLM companies. Moving forward, as we continue to grow and expand our network ma

forensic psychology
forensic psychology
Application of psychology to legal issues, often for the purpose of offering expert testimony in a courtroom. In civil and criminal cases, forensic psychologists may evaluate individuals to determine questions such as competency to stand trial, relationship of a mental disorder to an accident or crime, and potential for future dangerous behaviour. In addition to conducting interviews and administering psychological tests, they usually gather a forensic history, which includes information such as hospital records, police reports, and statements of witnesses. They are also expected to have a grasp of relevant legal questions. In a child-custody case, a forensic psychologist may be asked to evaluate home environments, parents, and the character of the child in order to recommend a custody decision in the child's best interests.

Analysis: Can Obama's "breadth and depth" jump-start stagnating US-India relations?
NEW DELHI, India — U.S. President Barack Obama arrives in India on Saturday with a difficult mission.
With no "big ticket" pact in the works, fading popularity at home and suspicions in India about American military aid to Pakistan, he needs to reassure New Delhi that the burgeoning alliance begun by his predecessor is truly becoming a bona fide strategic partnership.
The bottom line: There's very little chance Indians won't be disappointed with the outcome.
"If you look closely at what the background briefings are from the Indian side and what is being said not only in Washington but by the U.S. ambassador here, one gets the sense that nothing dramatic is likely to emerge from the visit," said former foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal.
Indeed, at a press briefing to outline the broad agenda for the visit, senior U.S. officials encouraged observers to focus on the big picture, rather than big agreements.
"The president's itinerary in India will highlight the growth, strength and breadth of the U.S.-India partnership and highlight the diversity and cultural vibrancy of India," a senior U.S. official said. "We believe the next big thing is taking this relationship from one focused on the civil nuke deal to one that's deeper and broader, and that rests on a full range of strategic areas of cooperation."
That means that the U.S. president will likely focus on India's potential to create U.S. jobs — simultaneously hitting the right notes at home and assuaging Indian fears about the protectionist tenor in recent U.S. statements and legislation regarding outsourcing. Obama will also emphasize that the U.S. recognizes India as a global power — reflected in more than 50 joint military exercises over the past eight years.
But the fact that the visit hinges on a combination of intangibles, closed-door discussions and a series of small steps forward ensures that the devil will be in the details.
"Mr. Obama and this administration are very good [people], full of nice sounding words, a lot of euphemisms," said Rajiv Sikri, a career Indian diplomat. "But I get the feeling that the Indian side is fairly hard-nosed, and will not be taken in. It's really action on the ground, and what the U.S. policies do to India's security and economic interests that will be the touchstone of how successful this visit is."
What India wants
In the wake of an announcement of more U.S. military aid for Pakistan and revelations that American intelligence may have withheld crucial information about the November 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai from their Indian counterparts, India wants assurance that the U.S. is coming closer to the Indian view that Pakistan is at the heart of the world's problems with terrorism.
While that won't be forthcoming, Obama's first address, at Mumbai's Taj Palace Hotel, will set the right tone, and the recent U.S. announcement of a director of national intelligence review of the Headley affair suggests that the U.S. intends to put more muscle behind cooperations on counterterrorism.
Perhaps more importantly, closed-door talks between Obama and Singh on Nov. 7 and 8 will likely flesh out the potential outcomes of the drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan next year.
But symbolic gestures and closed-door assurances aside, India has concrete demands that Obama will be hard-pressed to satisfy. The two big items at the top of India's wish list are a clear statement backing India's bid for a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council, and some kind of official recognition of its territorial sovereignty — an oblique reference to its border disputes with China and Pakistan. Obama will probably steer clear of the border issues, experts say. And while the U.N. Security Council seat may find its way into one of Obama's speeches, the expectation is that the U.S. president's formulation will be too weak to fulfill India's hopes.
"If this was said after due deliberation, with full knowledge of the implications, a lot of discerning people would see that as a major change in how the U.S. is beginning to look at India after the nuclear deal," said Sibal.
The carefully worded statements of U.S. officials aren't promising. In a meeting with reporters to outline Obama's schedule, for instance, U.S. Undersecretary of State William Burns would say only, "Given India's rise and its significance, we believe that India will be a central part of any consideration of a reformed Security Council," continuing America's "natural candidate" line, which clearly stops short of pushing for immediate reform.
What the U.S. wants
America's ambitions for Obama's visit are smaller, perhaps, but would send clear signals that the economic and strategic relationship between the U.S. and India is growing closer. As a big win, the U.S. is still pushing for a revision of India's nuclear liability laws, which the U.S. nuclear lobby argues have robbed the 2008 Indo-U.S. civilian nuclear agreement of its significance by creating a business advantage for the state-owned nuclear firms of Russia and France.
To provide a much-needed boost for the American economy, the U.S. would also like to see India further loosen restrictions on foreign investment in multi-brand retail for stores like Walmart and finalize billions of dollars in defense contracts that would reportedly create tens of thousands of U.S. jobs. But here, too, little progress is expected.
Though India signed the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC) in October, its own Civil Liability for Nuclear Damages Act remains in force. Moreover, with its failure to win compensation for victims of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy from Union Carbide as the backdrop for the negotiations, India appears both unwilling and politically unable to water down the 2010 law. As minister of state for science and technology, Prithviraj Chavan, told a gathering of reporters at the Founder's Day celebration of India's Bhabha Atomic Research Center, "We won't accept any conditions and agreements will be on our terms."
For the other items on the U.S. wish list, there's optimism on the question of if, but doubts regarding the question of when. Recently, India's commerce minister said the 51 percent cap on foreign direct investment in single-brand retail (e.g. the Nike store) could soon be eliminated, but said that a "consultative process" would be required before the ban on investment in multi-brand stores could be raised to an investment limit of 51 percent.
And while Obama is expected to conclude a $3.5 billion deal to buy 10 C-17 transport aircraft from Boeing, no decision is expected on an $11 billion tender for multi-role fighter jets — for which America's Lockheed Martin and Boeing are competing with European, Russian and Israeli manufacturers.

Is it possible to brew 15 gallon batches in a 15.5 gallon keggle set up?
Pretty sure 12 gal is about the limit, the place you are going to run into limitations will be the boil kettle (unless you ferment in a keg as well). Even at 12 gallons you are probably only yielding 11 finished.
Catch the next Triple Barrel Brewcast Broadcasting now 4/1/13 tune in and enjoy Twitter: @3bblcast
I was asked this and didnt have a definite answer but I thought for a 15 gallon batch you would need at least 17.5 gallon of water which that alone would make the 15.5 keggle useless for a batch of 15 gallons ..
I giggled when I initially read this, because I knew it would create controversy over how vigorously you boil and such. But then I got to thinking "Is there a cut and dry answer?" Yes, there is. Ignoring all else, the expansion rate of water when heated to boiling is approximately 4% 15.0 * 1.04 = 15.6 gallons So the only possible way to pull this feat off would be to top off with water after the fact ;-)
The hardest part of all-grain brewing is arguing about it on the interwebs.http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tims-C...9089362?ref=hl
I do 90 min boils, loosing 2 gallons from my batches (regardless of batch size obviously). So to do a 15 gallon batch, and leave room for boiling, the most wort you could have in the kettle "safely" would be 14ish gallons. In my case I would still end up with 12 gallons and have to add 3 gallons at the end. In order to plan for this in regards to the adjustment to the IBUs (which would be lower since you are adding more water) you would run the entire recipe in your calculator as a 15 gallon recipe, then calculate your mash schedule for a 12 gallon batch. The final step then is to top off with 3 gallons of santized water. It isn't perfect, and your gravities will be off some, but it will get you 15 gallons.

You could always add a little water throughout the boil to keep it at 14-14.5 gallons (a pint here a pint there). Then just add the last little bit to hit 15 gallons at the end.

So, how many forum members did I bump into (actually and figuratively) at the early shopping hours at World of Disney this morning? I hope I never feel the need to shop again when the store is that crowded. Phew! We arrived at 7:00 AM and had to park in lot C. DH and DD had been there for one of the early, mid-week shopping events and nearly had the store to themselves.

Since 2006, when purple was chosen as the "awareness color" for World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, Tennessee has played its part in "lighting the way" to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of elderly and vulnerable adults.
This year is no exception.
Medic Regional Blood Center asks all eligible donors to make a donation this summer.
"Donations are down this time of year; yet, the need is great due to the increase traffic and recreation in our area," said Christi Fightmaster, Medic spokeswoman.
Donors will have three chances in the upcoming weeks to give blood in Roane County.
A Medic mobile unit will be at Oliver Springs Food City from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 21 for a blood drive.
Rockwood 2000 members, from left, Sue Hill, Mary Kau, Molly Rogers and Sue McCutcheon install and plant one of 15 "trough planters" as one of the organization's beautification projects in the city's downtown area.
Rockwood 2000 is also working on additional landscaping projects on Gateway Avenue.
The Roane County Adult Education program will hold its annual GED graduation on Thursday, June 30, at 6:30 p.m. in the theater at Roane State Community College. A reception will be held after the ceremony for graduates and their guests. The event is sponsored by the Roane County Literacy Council and Roane State. Graduates and guests are asked to RSVP by June 24 by calling Cindy Hayes with Roane County Adult Education at 376-6663.
Rockwood 2000 is planning something new and different to kick off the summer season.
The organization's Plaid-a-Palooza party will be from 6 to 9 p.m. June 17 in Rockwood Street Grill.
"It is simply to come and have fun celebrating the beginning of summer," said Sandy McIntosh of Rockwood 2000.
Those who attend are encouraged to wear their favorite and funky plaid duds.
Tickets are $25 each or $45 per couple and include dinner, and live musical entertainment.
Pack up camping chairs and get ready to pull up those party barges for the 12th annual Half Moon Music Festival in Ten Mile.
This yearly showcase of area talent blends music and a relaxing day spent in the scenic Blue Springs Cove of Watts Bar Lake.
This year's festival will be from 1 to 5:30 p.m. July 10.
"The event is our way of giving back to the area," said Wayne Tipps, Half Moon organizer.
On an 80-degree day, the temperature inside a locked vehicle increases 19 degrees in just 10 minutes.
The numbers jump as the minutes pass — to 29 degrees in 20 minutes; and 43 degrees in an hour.
The experience could prove fatal for any human subjected to such excessive extremes.
A child's body temperature increases 3 to 5 times faster than that of an adult, and children exposed to extreme temperatures can suffer heatstroke, brain damage and death.
The extreme heat wave of the past few weeks has forced ElderWatch to change the location of Wednesday's ice-cream social.
The gathering, an observation of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, will be in Kingston Community Center from 1 to 3 p.m.
The program will include entertainment by Tommy Harding, ice cream and vendor booths with information of interest to seniors and their caregivers. Details will be provided about fraud, abuse and neglect.
Mid-East Community Action Agency will have its quarterly distribution of USDA commodity foods this month.
The schedule is:
• Kingston Community Center, from 10 a.m. to noon June 15.
• Mount Pisgah Baptist Church, Oliver Springs, from 2 to 3 p.m. June 15.
• Harriman Community Center, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 16.
• Rockwood National Guard Armory, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 17.
Miscellaneous photographs of students who attended Harriman City Schools have accumulated since the 1970s.
The HCS Alumni Association plans to make these items available to the public starting at 1 p.m. June 11 in front of the Temperance Building.
New yearbooks from the 1980s and 1990s will also be available.
Donations will be accepted to help support scholarship funds administered by the Alumni Association.
Each year, funds are awarded to selected students at Harriman High School and Harriman Middle School.
